Affordable, client focused, Architectural designs around Plymouth.

Dig Architects are based in Millbrook, just across the River Tamar from Plymouth, and have a well established understanding of Britain’s Ocean City. A diverse, proud city, with a rich heritage based around its connection with the sea and moorland – buildings in and around Plymouth should celebrate and respect this as the city evolves and modernises. The team at Dig Architects have experience across a range of civic projects of varying types, sizes and sectors, in the Southwest and beyond.

We add value through careful intelligent design.

With our unique approach, Dig Architects have proven that high-performance buildings can be beautiful, uplifting spaces, without significant extra cost up front.

We take great care in the use of clients’ budgets – aiming for cost-effective buildings which are greater than the sum of the parts, and ultimately add ‘value’.

The dramatic high-end new build home Hillside was built at a below average construction cost.

Well-designed buildings can also reduce annual energy demand. In its first year of operation, Hillside an all-electric home (no gas or oil) with a large array of south-facing solar panels generated roughly double the energy it used, exporting (selling back to grid) nearly three times the energy it imported (paid for) - resulting in an annual profit.
